Express is free... be happy with that.

Thanks for replying.
Yes, I'm glad MS offers this tool to learn about windows development. I think its
awesome.

It does state that in the product information.

Yes I think that is correct, I think winres is just a wrapper for winresrc, in the same way MFC is a wrapper for Win32.
On the plus side I do find VC++ Express a really good product for home use, and I have never missed MFC since I gave it up years ago.

Thanks.
Yeah, Just beginning to learn C++ last couple of months. It seems like Visual C++ express is the best free compiler. If I get good at this, I'll have the check out the upgraded versions.

I would recommend you stick to pure C++ until you feel totally comfortable with it, and avoid trying to understand MFC, WTL or the like. I went through this process some years back and got totally confused trying to learn C++ and MFC at the same time.
Good luck.

the WTL is a fine library so learn to use it. At Code project the ware a lot of samples how to use it.
The MFC has the advantage that the wizards of the VC work with it but the disadvantage that it is like outdated glue. 
If you need portability than you should consider other libraries. As Qt.

I thought MFC is like hot glue. It's great for quick or simple work, even after years you can pull out your hot glue gun and it does the job. I once borrowed a van and lost a mirror on the Autobahn, luckily we could make one from spare parts (hand mirror and a plastic bowl), hotglued it back on and continued the travel. Can Silverlight do that? 
Have a good weekend!

Working with glue is fine if you do a "glue" job. But if you want to engineer a car you need finer tools.
I do a lot with MFC, but for finer control, lighter setups you better stick to ATL or WTL. Or the code isnt portable to other platforms. A time ago after I throw all MFC stuff out of my code to get running on MAC OS with GCC. Since than I try to separate "pure C" and MFC code in classes.

Hai,
I am developing a MDI based application. In that i have two set of splitter. For ex splitter1 has TestView1, TestView2 and splitter2 has TestView3, TestView4. In this situation i am loading the splitter1 as initial view for my application. Here i want to open the splitter2 by some menu selection in the same document. How can i get this result.
Expect your guidance to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance

I'm using Visual C++ 2005 and have added a dialog to my project.
When i tried to add class for this dialog by right click and select "Add Class"
It pops up a script error: "Line: 815
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method".
Ratheesh.

Hi Friends,
Iam devloping a application where i want to write some set of contacts to outlook, where i tried off but unable to write it can any body help me out.
Procedre what i did.
1. created a session sucessfully
2. opned message store
3. opened contacts folder in outlook
4. stored that pointer into variable called m_pUser
5. with that pointer iam writing st of properties and saving it into the contacts folder.
Iam sure with the first three steps please go through 4 and 5 steps and help me out please.
Here i my core logic
::HrGetOneProp(MsgStore,PR_IPM_SUBTREE_ENTRYID,&propval);
MsgStore->OpenEntry(propval->Value.bin.cb,LPENTRYID(propval->Value.bin.lpb),0,MAPI_MODIFY,&ulObjType,(LPUNKNOWN*)&RootFolder);
hr=RootFolder->CreateFolder(FOLDER_GENERIC,(LPTSTR)"Contacts",NULL,0,OPEN_IF_EXISTS ,&ContactsFolder);
cout<<hr;
IMailUser *m_pUser = NULL;
hr=ContactsFolder->OpenEntry(propval->Value.bin.cb,LPENTRYID(propval->Value.bin.lpb),0,MAPI_BEST_ACCESS,&ulObjType,(LPUNKNOWN*)&m_pUser);
if(FAILED(hr))
{
cout<<"FAiled to Oen Contacts Folder";
}
SPropValue prop;
prop.ulPropTag=PR_DISPLAY_NAME;
prop.Value.lpszW=(LPTSTR)"ROCK";
m_pUser->SetProps(1,&prop,NULL);
prop.ulPropTag=PR_PRIMARY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER;
prop.Value.lpszW=(LPTSTR)"999999999999";
m_pUser->SetProps(1,&prop,NULL);
prop.ulPropTag=PR_BUSINESS_TELEPHONE_NUMBER;
prop.Value.lpszW=(LPTSTR)"1234567";
m_pUser->SetProps(1,&prop,NULL);
m_pUser->SaveChanges(true);
m_pUser->Release();
Can some body provide me any samples for referece so that i will be helpfull for me.
Thank in ADvance.

I tried the following in VS6.0. Created a simple "Hello World" application then added the following:
int i;
int j;
i = j = 5;
printf("%d %d %d %d %d %d\n",++i,j++,i++,++j,++i,j++);
printf("i %d j %d\n",i,j);
Now i expected the output to be:
8 7 6 7 6 5
i 8 j 8
But instead it printed as:
7 6 6 6 6 5
i 8 j 8

You cannot expect that behaviour (and you should avoid using the increment operators that way).
If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.

This is going on my arrogant assumptions. You may have a superb reason why I'm completely wrong.

Oh, this is just for trying...I don't use it any where as such

Why cannot i expect the output to be that? You think the output is wrong? Or different compilers will treat the statement differently??

This actually sounds absurd to me. Its more like anti-C

Yes. It's all about sequence points.

Behavior in this case depends on in which order the operands are pushed on the stack( Right to left or Left to right) when printf is called.

True. But the Standard Calling Convention for C is right-to-left.
The output 7 6 6 6 6 5 does not seem to be correct even if you were to pass the values left to right

I dont see anything wrong with the output?
++i,j++,i++,++j,++i,j++
1. j++ = 5
2. ++i = 6
3. ++j = 6
4. i++ = 6
5. j++ = 6
7. ++i = 7
You can read more about it here Calling Conventions Demystified[^]

Your example is wrong!
I dont see anything wrong with the output?
++i,j++,i++,++j,++i,j++
1. j++ = 5 true -> j = 5 but after this statement j=6!
2. ++i = 6 true
3. ++j = 6 wrong -> j=7!
4. i++ = 6 true, but after this statement i=7!
5. j++ = 6 wrong -> j=7!
7. ++i = 7 wrong -> i = 8
So the final result is:
8 7 6 7 6 5
Thats also the right compiler result!
